Valuation Breakdown

The skinny
You can be sure Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs has turned up the heat on General Manager Peter Chiarelli, who took over running hockey operations last season from Harry Sinden, who ran the team for decades. Sinden, who was cheap on player salaries and changed coaches at the drop of a hat, had a dismal postseason record. The Bruins missed the postseason during Chiarelli's first season and have not qualified for the playoffs since the 2003-04 campaign. The Bruins need the incremental profits that the postseason generates because TD Banknorth Garden, which is also owned by Jacobs, pays hefty interest on the debt used to finance its construction.
